sometimes i hate waking up

"The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment,
when you are between asleep and awake,
when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy,
when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality,
and it really happened."

everybody

Sometimes in the morning

When I wake up I see your face
But you are in a new life
In a new love, in a new place
Oh, the heart holds many hands
My dear, it's time I let yours go

Everybody, everybody wants to love
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody, everybody wants to love
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm fine now, it just took time now
You can see how much I've grow
Made room love, for a new love
Now my feet won't walk alone
Oh, the heart holds many hands
My love it's time I let yours go

Everybody, everybody wants to love
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody, everybody wants to love
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I am ready to love, I am ready for love
I am ready to love, I am ready for love

Everybody, everybody wants to love
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody, everybody wants to love
Everybody, everybody wants to be loved
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Everybody wants to love
Everybody needs to love
Everybody wants to love
Everybody needs to love

dare...

This new school year is all about change for me. I'm daring to be me. And this is my new way of life :

Live with intention.
Walk to the edge.
Listen hard.
Practice wellness.
Play with abandon.
Laugh.
Choose with no regret.
Appreciate your friends.
Continue to learn.
Do what you love.
Live as if this is all there is.

.......

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes

Remember is a place from long ago
Remember FILLED WITH EVERYTHING YOU KNOW
Remember when you're sad and feelin' down
REMEMBER TURN AROUND

Remember life is just a memory
Remember close your eyes and you can see
Remember think of all that life can be
Remember-

Dream, love is only in a dream, remember -
Remember life is never as it seems. Dream

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes

oxygen in the air

"Love is not an equation,
it is not a contract,
and it is not a happy ending.
Love is the slate under the chalk,
the ground that buildings rise,
and the oxygen in the air.
It is the place you come back to,
no matter where your headed"

over

works over.
its quite sad.
i have to wait a whole year to see these kids again.
that is if they come back next year.
that is if I come back.

yes some of these children are VERY annoying. and YES by the end of the summer, i could have screamed at them all. but now that its over, its quite depressing.
us counselors even had our last get together tonight. i loved how much fun we had at work, getting paid to go to the movies, go swimming, and play all sorts of random games. i'm going to miss our weekly "staff meetings" where we would go out to eat and laugh about all the insane
children. it was a good summer.

I'm going to miss my BFF Collin. He is such a punk...but i heart him.

Then there is Hunter...and the fact that we are 99% sure he IS the giraffe on Madagascar.

Like I said, I will definitely miss our cool staff, and how we weren't afraid to be one of the kids

I will miss the fact that these 2 LOVED each other
but couldn't ever have a conversation because she doesnt speak english.

And my little friend Crew who we were convinced was an 80 year old man
...who was ALWAYS searching for free stuff.

Or the fact that these 2 kids are my FAVORITE, and they decided they love each other the last week of camp. precious.

song of the week

I heart this song

the beat.
the lyrics.
the whole song.
Find My Way by the Gabe Dixon Band
{p.s. its the opening song on The Proposal if you by chance recognize it}

its coming

i love autumn.
i love autumn a lot.
on my birthday... july 26th... i could smell it in the air.
i knew there would only be 2 people that would understand this.
my friend Kassie from work, and my mom.
i told them...
and they smelled it too!
well, that came and went all too soon.
but this weekend,
it came again.
i smelled autumn in the air.
it was crisp and delicious.
i just imagined myself stepping on crunchy leaves,
drinking hot cider,
and carving pumpkins.
i cant wait...............

all grown up

its been a summer FULL of weddings. literally full of them. but last nights wedding made me realize how much everything changes when you have to grow up.
my dearest of dear cousins Chelsea got married.
my Chelsea is off into the world of married splendor.
it was a beautiful reception. It had rained all that day, and the day prior, but the rain let up about 20 minutes before the reception.
It was gorgeous outside. And she looked gorgeous.

all night i kept reminiscing about our childhood and the glorious times we had. Moments like sitting around the piano and singing Hymns opera style, or being insane little 8 year old kids and making up our own club at Grandpa and ma's that none of the other cousins could be in. Or of our plans to go to BYU-Hawaii and both marrying Tongon brothers. Or the infamous "wake-up" moment. Or the when she busted her knee in the 8th grade, and i got to be her book carrier while she gimped around. Or when our teacher asked us to pick out a number between 1 and 5 and I yelled out "7".

But the best memory I remembered last night, was when Chelsea met her now hubby Steven.... In the 9th grade. Yes the 9th grade. Those love birds have been together since age 14, and I was there for all of it. The 3 of us were quite the bunch. Being choir nerds and loving every minute of it.

I'm so thrilled that they are now together for all of Eternity. Chelsea couldn't have found someone better for her, and Steven is the luckiest guy ever. I hope he knows that.

Oh what a night. What a happy, rainy, tear-jerking, bouquet-catching, beautiful, grown-up night.
love it.

(Yes. I caught the bouquet. Not good with all the aunts around. They will be talking for months.)

eagerly awaiting

i'm counting down the days until the following:

*I move back to Logan
*The Jason Mraz concert
*My best pal McKay comes home
*This movie comes out
*I can step on crunchy leaves
*I can buy this i-pod
*This album comes out
*I can listen to Christmas music
*and I can wear an outfit like this to the 80's Dance (scroll to 1:45)

ahhhhhhhh im so excited! i wish all these happy things were here now!

song of the week #whatever this week is

i love having a CD player in my new car,
because i listen to old CD's that i normally wouldnt have on my
"ipod of life".
this week was the re-birth of Blue Merle.
never heard of them?
no one has.
thats why i looooove them.
they are unique and raw.
not over-produced and stereotypical.
i first heard them in 2005 when my friend Emily took me to their concert.
it was glorious.
they have since split up, and tried to go single,
but havent made it.
blue merle though, will always have a place in my heart...
you should check them out
on their website
or listen to my favorite one of the week
Every Ship Must Sail Away
or listen to their most popular song... Burning in the Sun
<3>

last weeks song of the week

oops
i thought i had more time last week
...but i did indeed run out.
last weeks fav was most definitely
the new single by A Fine Frenzy.
I have loved her last CD for a couple years now,
(finding each song so freakishly relate able)
so i was floored when I saw she had a new release.
and naturally i immediately downloaded it.
Its a little bit different than her old stuff,
but I really like the spunk to this.
and the lyrics make my life
hope you enjoyyyy
